	News: TomTom HOME 2.4 released TomTom have announced the release of HOME 2.4, the latest in the line-up. Details have only just arrived so for now we'll simply pass on what TomTom have provided, good news for Mac users is this is a cross platform release with 2.4 versions of both PC and Mac versions available. The big news here is the Map Update Service. TomTom are now offering subscriptions which include quarterly map updates. As you must be running the latest map release in order to subscribe to this service a welcome feature is a discount structure. A sliding scale will discount the cost of the latest map depending on the age of your current map. If your map is 1 quarter old then the discount is 85% dropping to 0% if it is 2 yrs old or more. This is an important addition and one that will bring benefits (hopefully) to all users with more frequent updates and lower costs. More details in the thread linked below. HOME hasn't exactly covered itself in glory with many bugs, features that don't work as advertised and other issues so let's hope this one is a milestone and secures the product as something we can all rely on! We will be evaluating both versions but in the meantime the new and improved features list announce by TomTom: Map Share improvements: Map Share trust level can be set in TomTom HOME Improved Map Share Status Indicator for greater accuracy New content types to be shared for the GO x40 series: Home/Favourites/Buddy symbols Start-up/shut-down sounds Other features: Latest Map Guarantee is checked automatically Support for the new TomTom Map Update Service (more details to follow) Support for sending Safety Camera reports to server Activation of promotion codes in TomTom HOME Possible to remove downloaded content from computer in TomTom HOME User experience improvements Improvement to device recognition by HOME The ability to use themes for HOME As always, HOME can be download from www.tomtom.com/home Click here to discuss...
